Subject: Q: How to create a FreeBSD fs on Iomega Zip 100?

Hello,

I recently got an Iomega SCSI Zip 100 drive and would like to put a
FreeBSD UFS partition on it that is as large as possible.  I was 
wondering if anyone had a canned method for doing this.  My 
understanding is that I need the followingthree steps:
 
1.  Write fdisk partition label (or is it pfdisk?)
2.  Use disklabel
3.  Use newfs (possibly tunefs)

I would need help mostly with the first two steps (what are the proper
options for the Iomega 100 Zip media for the appropriate commands in 
steps 1 and 2?)

It seems to me that the command line options should be pretty standard
for the Iomega Zip 100 media.

Thank You,

JM
